I've just ordered a copy of this,however it appears the download link to get the book doesn't work(at least on my computer it won't),anyone else had any problems with it??

Ordered this and received the pdf by return. No problems.
Would add though that I looked yesterday on receipt of email and safari was having problems with the link on my iPad. Maybe that is because the release date is officially today, I don't know.

Also now have CBM's part 2 and having had time to look through it would recommend it. Much less waffle than Julian's  but some may enjoy the other issues covered by him.

I appreciate that

New resolution = stray from the safe and tried and experiment with a few different things. 

Although it has been on the side for a Good while I have never delved into Mick Crawford's E book.

The gravy seems fairly standard and simple but he has two suggested mix powders that on first glance seem very similar but are actually very different but with no explanation.

Have any of you guys tried both and what is your opinion

Thank you. Regards and Happy New Year.

Perhaps I should add that I am not comfortable with the % of turmeric in mix 2 in addition to the fact that he does not mention which one he uses in each of his recipes.

You should cool the rice as fast as possible. At the very least get it straight into the fridge.

I do think, with the greatest respect, that that is a little OTT.  I have /never/ force-chilled rice, yet normally cook enough for two or three days.  All stays in a Pyrex casserole until the meal is over (lid on), and is then left to chill naturally in the kitchen.  When it is completely cold it is transferred to 600ml plastic takeaway containers (with lids) and transferred to the 'fridge. And my wife and I have never had food poisoning as a result.

' with the greatest respect ' what an awful and generally patrionising expression albeit no offence taken or I believe, intended.

Just makes sense to get the rice chilled quickly. The quicker the better and less opportunity for nasties to multiple.  '. Simples ' - another annoying expression perhaps.m

Certainly looking forward to this. Love the way he says he is a veggie with a mouthful of chicken!

Check the basaar powder - give the powder a taste - yep its not cooked in a curry - you wont get ill - i check all of mine - then you will know

best, Rich

Spot on Rich. It IS the basaar. Al Noor.  Fiery gear!!!! My fault for thinking it may be like Raj mild madras or similar.  Have used it in gravy before too but never noticed the strength. Doh!!  Always something new to learn!!
